Klitschko’s Gift To Peter

IBF/WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko was in a generous mood ahead of his latest title defence against Samuel Peter in Frankfurt, Germany this weekend.

The world’s No.1 heavyweight kindly allowed Peter to take pictures of his championships belts but stressed that is as near as he will get to winning them.

Speaking at a press conference in Germany earlier this week Klitschko said: “Sam, you can touch the world championship belt. I’ll also let you take pictures with it. This is my personal gift for you – but you won’t come any closer to that belt.”

Meanwhile Klitschko’s trainer Emanuel Steward predicted that his fighter will take out Peter “in the fourth or fifth round”.
